“Vampire: the Masquerade Redemption” offers players the chance to take on the role of an ancient vampire in a world based on the White Wolf role-playing game line “World of Darkness.” Players strive to hold on to what little remains of their character’s humanity as he drinks blood, fights undead horrors and strives to understand the constant changes in human society that advance over the years. The game originally released in 2000 for the Windows 95 operating system, but also runs on later versions, including Windows XP.
